There are many conditions which require surgery to treat, and can be life-threatening or dangerous to wait for prolonged periods of time. Common examples include being hit by a car, internal bleeding, a rupture or hole in the intestines, eating foreign objects that have become stuck or obstructed, gall bladder disease, difficulty giving birth, or a wide variety of other illnesses. In these scenarios, we have veterinarians trained in surgery available 24 hours a day. If your pet needs emergency surgery, we are always prepared and equipped to provide this life-saving procedure.

Surgery

The goal of our Surgeons, Registered Veterinary Technicians and our highly skilled support staff is to provide pain free personalized treatment with unparalleled care for each and every one of our patients.

What Is A Board Certified Veterinary Surgeon?

A board certified veterinary surgeon is a licensed veterinarian who has obtained intensive, additional surgical training in order to be accepted and accredited by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS).

While your primary care veterinarian can diagnose and treat many health problems, certain diseases and conditions require the care of a doctor who has had this specialized, intensive surgical training in order to provide the very best outcome for your pet.

  • Orthopedic surgery
